Road Closure On 231/67 South Set To Begin Monday For INDOT Bridge Work

T he Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will officially close U.S. 231, between State Road 46 (S.R. 46) and S.R. 157, this coming Monday, September 27. During the closure workers will be replacing the bridge over Meadow Brook Creek. INDOT has established an official detour using state roads 46, 246, and 157. Local traffic can drive to the point of closure, while large trucks and other heavy vehicles will be restricted to the official detour. The contract has a completion date of December 17, 2010. INDOT reminds motorists to use caution and consider worker safety when driving through a highway construction zone. While a route-around has been paved by the Town of Spencer for local traffic only, all outside traffic, especially all large trucks ranging from semis to dump trucks, will be required to take the state-approved detour of State Road 46, west of Spencer, to S.R. 246 and then to S.R. 157 in Clay City. Traffic can also take U.S. 231 north to S.R. 42, or S.R. 46 east to Bloomington. (Staff Photo)
